EA lied that there aren’t rebounds from gks

In fc 26 trailer it was said that in competitive gameplay gks won’t give rebounds.
In reality both cpu and bag gks give away stupid rebounds in 1 vs 1 situations and body saves.
I want to like this game but it keeps disappointing me

    You can find the pitch notes where it covers goalkeepers here w3t95xzwyw16​:   https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-fc/fc-26/news/pitch-notes-fc26-gameplay-deep-dive#goalkeeper 

    Here are the main differences in Competitive Gameplay:

    • All GK deflections try to get away from danger, reducing rebound goals
    • Reduced tackles/blocks/interceptions bouncing back to your opponent
    • Less AI defending, resulting in looser defensive lines
    • Fewer auto tackles and auto blocks
    • Redesigned Fatigue feature
    • More responsive and smoother transitions in and out of specific animations
    • Increased passing speed and responsiveness
    • Tighter control and more speed while dribbling, and skill moves are faster
    • Increased variability on crosses, to favour player skill over repetitive wide play
    • Increased heading error relative to Authentic
    • Increase variability in Corner Kicks outcomes, with fewer attacking players involved by default
    • Less authentic visuals when avoiding a ball, to resolve these situations more effectively
    • Players get up quickly after being tackled to the ground
    • Players show no reaction animations when hit by a fast incoming ball

  • How can this disappoint you. For example in online play I expect this to happen. I don't want a game where rebounds never happen as that would not be realistic nor football simulation which this game is based on.

    I would call an issue if every shot bounced back out for a tap in as that would be an exploit. However, that is not the case.

    I think it's mad that anyone would expect no rebounds. I am perfectly fine with this and the occasional tackle backs. Sometimes it works for you and sometimes against. As EA_Darko​ says it was reduced. Which is fine.

    Can't believe what some people expect. The game does need to represent football and this happens in the real game.

  • With all due respect but in pitch notes from official ea website it said that there won’t be any rebounds from gks in competitive gameplay.

    Trust is crucial between company and customers

    Pretty sure the intention was to reduce the number of rebound goals not eradicate it altogether w3t95xzwyw16​ as they can occur in actual real play.
